Precautions
Installation
•Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat build-up in the System.
•Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
•Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with the TV.
Power sources
•When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense in the lenses on the System in the
following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Internal heat
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System.
Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.
–A cooling fan is inside the System to prevent heat
build-up.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
•If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

AM/FM antenna
To assemble the AM loop antenna
To connect AM/FM antenna
•If the antenna cord is covered with vinyl on the tip, twist and
pull the vinyl off to remove.
For better FM reception
• Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect an
outdoor FM antenna using a 75
Ω wire with coaxial type
connector (IEC or DIN45325).
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep
the antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
• The front speakers and subwoofer(s) are magnetically
shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not
installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay
attention to the following when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the
TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above instruction. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.
